Statistical Modeling Researcher for AI Evaluation
Up to $75/hr (depending on the project)
About this role
Statistical Modeling Researchers apply advanced statistical theory, methodology, and applied modeling expertise to evaluate AI-generated outputs, create expert-level training data, and provide precise feedback that improves how AI systems represent statistical research and methods. This is an ongoing, project-based, hourly contract role that can be done remotely alongside other commitments. No prior AI experience is required.
Key Responsibilities- Create expert-level training data grounded in statistical research and methodology.
- Evaluate AI-generated responses for accuracy, methodological soundness, and relevance.
- Provide detailed, actionable feedback and corrections to improve AI understanding of statistical concepts.
- Apply domain knowledge in statistical theory, computation, machine learning, and applied statistics to annotation and review tasks.
- Work independently on asynchronous assignments while following project guidelines and deadlines.
- PhD in Statistics, Biostatistics, Applied Statistics, or a related field from a top 100 US university.
- Research background in one or more of the following areas: statistical theory or methodology, statistical computation or machine learning, applied statistics or statistics applications.
- Familiarity with arXiv, especially the Statistics repository (stat).
- Strong written communication skills and attention to detail.
- Ability to work independently and asynchronously with research teams.
- Location: Remote.
- Employment type: Part time, hourly contract.
- Schedule: Flexible, asynchronous; no minimum hour requirement.
- Typical commitment: Most contributors work approximately 5, 20 hours per week when participating in an active project.
- Engagement model: Ongoing, project-based assignments. Placement on individual projects depends on current project needs, and contributors may be considered for future projects as they become available.
